I know this area and the surrounding area as well. The nearby town of Greenville has a rather large population of negros, but nearby Dallas of course is LOADED with africans. My jaw dropped when i read this and figured out where it was talking about. [url]http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2005/07/africaas_larges.php[/url]

I was wondering the same thing - why so far out ? Might have to do with land prices, but for any group coming from one of the poorest african countries on that continent, they are spending a bunch of money. Isnt Nigeria the same country where many of the the so-called "email scammers" originate from ?

Most of the real estate and insurance scams in the Atlanta area have Nigerian and Somalian immigrants involved in them.
